Hey Bloggies –

Well, if you have been following my blog for any amount of time, you know about my love affair for Barney Butter! I had heard a rumor that Barney Butter had made it to Massachusetts, but I had yet to see it with my own eyes.

This afternoon my friend Jane said that she was going to Shaw’s to get some ingredients for a batch of red velvet cupcakes (um, can you say yum!?) my eyes lit up. Shaw’s? In Massachusetts? Seriously? Jane could tell that my brain was going wild with thoughts of food.

“Do you need something at Shaw’s?” She asked me.

“Yes. Have you ever heard of Barney Butter???” I asked her. I started to explain, “it’s a – ”   

“Yes, I know what Barney Butter is. I’ll check and see if it’s there.” She interrupted, as a very educated Sugar & Spice reader. 😀

When Jane and I met up a half hour later at a post – work holiday function, she came bearing a gift. A jar of Barney Butter with my name on it! It was about eight dollars at Shaw’s. What a bargain (since there was no shipping charges)! I am so happy. I had no idea I could be so excited about a jar of nut butter… is there something wrong with me?

I had a small jar of Barney Butter that I have been rationing since August… Here are my two jars of Barney Butter:

My little dorf jar of BB is the one I have had since August. I am so glad I can use my Barney Butter on a more regular basis now! For those of you who are looking for your own fix of Barney Butter, it looks like it is available at Shaw’s grocery stores all throughout New England. Yipee!!
